Batch Plant Vol. 4, Compiled By Danny Kotz

The fourth edition of “Batch Plant” sees four tracks curated by Berlin-based producer and analog-digital hybrid live artist Danny Kotz, adding his own mark in the shape of the remix at number 5.First serving comes via Mr. Dello. The Greek producer brings with

“Pashtunwali” a powerful techno exploration with an inverted groove, immersed in zippy synths and effervescent slabs. The most dynamic piece of the whole offering, it’s the perfect late night dungeon track.Yoikol, a Spanish producer whose penchant for classic analogue synths is evident in “Selective”. Kicks and pads make up the centerpiece, while a backdrop of solid bass and melancholic stirred synths make for a lively melody.A slew of minimal melodics enters afloat on “Alva”, Italian producer’s Simon Prod concoction. Spacious pads and airy synths pave the way for a smooth groove with all essential elements present.

Steven Cock is no stranger to “moC” and he brings his signature bounce appeal on the compilation in the form of “Complete Dedication”. A playful piece, with neatly layered synth coils and glitchy textures, it’s definitely an energetic pick-me-up.Danny Kotz takes on Simon Prod’s composed “Alva”, adding extra layers while retaining its tranquil temperament overall. The result is a nervy, pulsating alternative to the original, rounding off the record in a raw yet subtlely gentle fashion.
